Synopsis

Hsiao Kang sells cheap wristwatches to passersby on the streets of modern day Taipei. One potential customer, Shiang-Chyi, bewitches Hsiao, but refuses to acceot one of his usual wares. Instead, she want to buy his own watch, because it gives the time in two timezones, and she is about to fly on business to Paris. Hsiao obliges, but no sooner has she left, than he begins to obsess about her, and he begins setting all of the watches and clocks around him to French time.
